Definitions

  • the invention relates to improved anti-serum albumin immunoglobulin single variable domains, as well as ligands and drug conjugates comprising such domains, compositions, nucleic acids, vectors and hosts.
  • SA binding moieties such as anti-SA immunoglobulin single variable domains (dAbs), which have therapeutically-useful half-lives.
  • dAbs anti-serum albumin binding moieties

  • Binding moieties are disclosed that specifically bind serum albumins from more than one species, eg human/mouse cross-reactive anti-SA dAbs.
  • WO05118642 and WO2006/059106 disclose the concept of conjugating or associating an anti-SA binding moiety, such as an anti-SA immunoglobulin single variable domain, to a drug, in order to increase the half-life of the drug.

Such moieties could be linked to drugs, the anti-SA binding moiety being chosen according to the contemplated end-application. This would allow the drug to be better tailored to treating and/or preventing chronic or acute indications, depending upon the choice of anti-SA binding moiety. It would also be desirable to provide anti-SA dAbs that are monomeric or substantially so in solution.

  • the routine bacterial expression level in 2.5 L shake flasks was determined following culture in Onex media at 30° C. for 48 hrs at 250 rpm.
  • the biophysical characteristics were determined by SEC MALLS and DSC.
  • SEC MALLS size exclusion chromatography with multi-angle-LASER-light-scattering
  • TSK3000 size exclusion chromatography
  • S200 size exclusion chromatography
  • DSC Different Scanning calorimetry: briefly, the protein is heated at a constant rate of 180 degrees C./hrs (at 1 mg/mL in PBS) and a detectable heat change associated with thermal denaturation measured.
  • the transition midpoint ( app T m ) is determined, which is described as the temperature where 50% of the protein is in its native conformation and the other 50% is denatured.
  • DSC determined the apparent transition midpoint (app Tm) as most of the proteins examined do not fully refold. The higher the Tm, the more stable the molecule.
  • the software package used was Origin R v7.0383.
  • VH dAbs Characteristics of the VH dAbs are summarised in Table 1 below.
  • Cross-reactivity of the AlbudAbsTM ie, anti-serum albumin dAbs
  • SPR surface plasmon resonance
  • BiacoreTM was used.
  • the epitope mapping to domain 1, 2 and/or 3 (D1,2,3) of human serum albumin (HSA) was performed using SPR and purified individual domains of HSA (in-house) covalently coupled to a CM5 chip (amine coupling).
  • the expression was in 2.5 L baffled glass flasks in a volume of 500 mL in OverNight ExpressTM at 30 C, 250 rpm.
  • MALLS results: A single VH AlbudAb is 14 kDa in size. Any value between 14 and 28 kDa as determined by MALLS is indicative of varying degrees of self-association or dimer formation (i.e 16 kDa predominately monomeric under the conditions tested whereas 22 kDa indicates a strong propensity to dimerise under MALLS conditions).
  • DSC results The concentration of protein in a DSC experiment is much higher at 1 mg/mL in the actual reaction cell compared to MALLS. This higher concentration could explain in part the presence of two appTms for some AlbudAbs as seen in table 1; the first Tm constitutes the dissociation of the dimeric complex, whereas the second Tm represents the unfolding of the actual AlbudAb protein.
  • AlbudAbs bind Domain2 of HSA and express reasonably well in shake flasks under non-optimised conditions. 5 out of 7 AlbudAbs are monomeric as determined by MALLS, whereas DOM7r-35 shows a significant propensity to dimerise under the MALLS conditions. Monomeric state is advantageous because it avoids dimerisation and the risk of products that may cross-link targets such as cell-surface receptors.
  • DOM7r-36 shows some degree of aggregate formation (less than 10% when quantified on MALLS). For 5 out of 7 AlbudAbs, 2 appTms can be determined. This is due to the higher experimental concentration in DSC experiments and slightly different in-solution state of the dAb at this elevated concentration (for details, see explanation also above).
  • AlbudAbs were cloned into the pDOM5 vector.
  • the pDOM5 vector is a pUC119-based expression vector where protein expression is driven by the LacZ promoter.
  • a GAS1 leader sequence (see WO 2005/093074) ensures secretion of isolated, soluble dAbs into the periplasm and culture supernatant of E. coli .
  • dAbs are cloned SalI/NotI in this vector, which appends a myc tag at the C-terminus of the dAb.
  • 20-50 mg quantities were expressed in E. coli and purified from bacterial culture supernatant using protein A affinity resin and eluted with 100 mM glycine pH2.
  • the proteins were concentrated to greater than 1 mg/ml, buffer exchanged into PBS and endotoxin depleted using Q spin columns (Vivascience).
  • PK pharmacokinetic
  • AlbudAbs were dosed as single i.v injections at 2.5 mg/kg using 3 rats per compound.
  • Serum samples were taken at 0.16, 1, 4, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 168 hrs. Analysis of serum levels was by anti-myc capture followed by anti-VH detection ELISA as per the method described below.
  • Results are shown in table 2. All tested AlbudAbs show a serum-half life extending ability (negative control HEL4 dAb with T1 ⁇ 2 of 20 mins in rat) to varying degrees; this trend can also be seen in the calculated AUC being the highest value for the longest t1 ⁇ 2. The longest serum half-life with 34.5 hrs approximates the serum half-life of rat serum albumin.
  • T 1 ⁇ 2 is a measure of the circulation time of the molecule in the subjects.
  • AUC area under the curve, which is a PK profile parameter Anti-myc ELISA Method Using MSD
  • the AlbudAb concentration in serum was measured by anti-myc ELISA. Briefly, goat anti-myc polyclonal antibody (1:500; Abcam, catalogue number ab9132) was coated overnight onto Nunc 96-well Maxisorp plates and blocked with 5% BSA/PBS+1% TWEENTM. Serum samples were added at a range of dilutions alongside a standard at known concentrations. Bound myc-tagged AlbudAb was then detected using a rabbit polyclonal anti-VH directly labelled with the MSD sulfo-tag. Each dAb was diluted in assay buffer containing 10% control rat serum (1:1000; in-house reagent) (method DM222). MSD (MesoScaleDiscovery; MesoScale.com) utilizes electrochemiluminescence detection of the sulfo-tag after electrochemical stimulus.
  • MSD MesoScaleDiscovery; MesoScale.com
  • the concentration of unknown samples was established by interpolation against the standard curve taking into account dilution factors.
  • the mean concentration result from each time point was determined from replicate values and entered into WinNonLin analysis package (eg version 5.1 (available from Pharsight Corp., Mountain View, Calif. 94040, USA).
  • the data was fitted using a non-compartmental model, where PK parameters were estimated by the software to give terminal half-lives. Dosing information and time points were selected to reflect the terminal phase of each PK profile.
